Also remember we only have one side of the story here.

Yes I do agree with stopping protests to cause disruption and think the group would have been better off organising a quiet march or protest within a park or some such place, befitting Quaker ideals rather than plotting in this way.We have enough trouble with the Stop Oil wallies.Mind you, seems they have stopped, probably prison sentences have made them think again.

The police broke down the door at the Westminster Meeting House. Apparently there were between twenty and thirty of them, some with tazers, who then went on to arrest 6 young people holding a meeting in a rented room. These were a youth group who were organising protest against what is happening in Gaza. You might agree with stopping protests designed to cause disruption but would you feel happy if this was your church, synagogue or mosque?
